Cool Looking Male

robert448 Sep 15, 2005 09:33 AM

I just wanted to share these pics of a male that was recently hatched out.He is 100% het for albino.The mother seems to hatch out unusually patterned animals.One of the pics is a male 100% het albino that was hatched in 2000.

He is a ringer.The 1st pic is the 2000 male from the same mother.There is no pied in the hatchling.The 2nd & 3rd pics are right out of the egg.He was born last night...Rob

That is very cool.........it is the exact opposite of what we see in the albino's that display the Paradox gene.....your is just normal with patches of albinism...........VERY NEAT......wanna bet you get some paradox albinos from your line eventually...........

The 2nd animal is an AWESOME classic jungle.........with the nuttiest pattern I have seen on one.......and a ringer to boot......

VERY cool snakes...............indeed!

More pics of the first snake...........can you take come good close-ups of the paradox areas on the snake?

yeah wow...that first one does look like it could actually be homogenous albino...with the paradox effect taking over like crazy.

NICE ANIMALS!

which is the paradox part of the animal? is that the light coloured bit showing through what you are classing as P'dox?

The first pic is not a homozygeous albino.I proved this out this year.This was the 2nd clutch from this female and there were no Albinos in the group of 7 eggs.In 2000 she had a clutch of 4 eggs all normal colored animals with extreme patterns like the babies in the 1st post and the possible parodox male.That animal was the only one that came out like that.I do have his 2 sibling sisters but had sold the other male, a black back.I was hoping to breed the possible parodox with one of his sibling sisters last season but she didnt go.The other sibling female throws out awesome albino's.We'll see what happens this season.

robert448 Sep 15, 2005 11:06 AM

Jared, No problem.I will take some pics of those areas and post them. Rob

patterns at times, Bob Clark told me years ago that the Albino's tend to have some jungle looking offspring from time to time which yours seems to be an awesome example of.

now that is interesting, something I didn't know but might explain why a few of my new 100% het hatchlings have some mild jungleish stuff going on, nothing like these though. mine have the light spot on the head, some odd lip patterns/spots. very intersting. those snakes pictured rock, can't wait to see what comes out of your line in the future.

Thanks,I hope to see something this coming season...Rob

Royal_Variations Sep 15, 2005 12:18 PM

is exactly what Bob Clark found to be common with his Albino het's from time to time. You might hatch out some great looking junglish animals. They seem to be very random. They are jewels that add great looking animals in your collection. The lip pattern is really interesting and the light area on the head is very jungle like in appearance. Let us know what you hatch out from your Albino's and Albino het's.

is from the clark line of albinos(got mine from albinoballpythons.com) so that makes even more sense now. too bad all the really cool looking babies were males out of this clutch and they will be going to new homes.

LOL, whatever that jungle lookin' rascal is, I think I actually like it better than the paradox.

is really impressive and random but breeding that animal might make some great looking patterns. Breed the same pair again that produced the junglish animal and you might produce even more. That pattern would look great on other morph's. let us know if you hatch out any more.

I had 3.4 in the clutch and all the males are the extreme jungle look.The one that was posted was the nicest.The 4 females look great and different but do not have that crazy jungle look....Rob

Royal_Variations Sep 15, 2005 02:35 PM

patterns, Jamie Quick and Anthony McCain also hatched out jungle looking animals from their Albino's years ago. I know other people did the same. That is really cool, please keep us up to date with your project.

Kyle, my original stock was from Jamie Quick....Rob

NEWReptiles Sep 15, 2005 01:58 PM

WOW, thats really cool. We hatched a few of those this season as well. Still not sure what they are but they are awsome none the less. Ours are from an albino x possible het breeding. Two seasons ago the same female was bred by a pastel and there too we got two odd looking pastels.
